The World State

“I have a REALLY vivid imagination when it comes to the art of writing music, and I like to have some good laughs while doing it…”– Leifur

Instead of thinking in terms of inadequacies, the epic Aarhus rock band The World State gladly accepts a walk on the thinnest ice, with a complex, challenging and extremely unusual approach to the art of playing rock music. All with Bina Rosenvinges immaculate voice on top.

In these years, it is not exactly an unknown factor that most music sounds more or less the same, so that we can easily cram it into our little genre boxes. The World State might give you a hard time doing so.

Giving the fact that the band expects something from their listeners, one might have to let go of stagnant ideas and prejudices about what you can actually do with rock music, and first of all, give the music time. In return, they promise you a beautiful and mind-expanding journey through soundscapes and parallel worlds you never even knew existed.

The lyrical themes mainly circles around the topic of reverse evolution of mankind. And as a line in the song “The Strangest of Places” puts it: "Time passed while we were busy distracting death, and now we ́re lost for ideas".￼The Band:

After the band's highly acclaimed debut EP "FLIER" from 2013, created at the same time, they released the long-awaited debut album, "Traced Through Dust and Time" on March 3rd. 2016, again followed by great reviews from all over the world.

The band was started in 2009 by bandleader – Leifur, who over the last six years has written the album and developed the band's sound and strange universe.

Guitarist Andreas Schubert has been along from the earliest start, and with a few changes along the way, the band's final line-up with Bina Rosenvinge on vocals, Jesper Kragh on guitar and Danny Woe on drums has been carefully selected.

A Castle For The Battles That I Fight (official music-video 2015)

We are more than honored to present our first music video ever!Although we always have high expectations for ourselves, we must admit that the video has exceeded what we expected!

The main challenge with this video was to create a universe for the song that would give the song even more depth, and also allow for this universe to expand with subsequent videos. The solution was to create a type of shadow play, which meant shooting all shots in silhouette, so that all characters became completely black and leaving only the skies. More challenges came in post production when the time came to create all these shots in fx since all shots in the video required some sort of vex work done to them.
